The West Central Ohio Association for Gifted Children invests its resources to train teachers, encourage parents and educate administrators and policymakers on how to develop and support gifted children and what's at stake if high-potential learners are not challenged and encouraged. WCOAGC advances understanding of the needs of the gifted, promotes the establishment of programs and services for gifted students, and encourages the exchange of information on the national, state and local level. WCOAGC is an affiliate organization of the Ohio Association for Gifted Children.
